Day 11 - Dalton to Massillon
Click images to enlarge.
Rather than being on two feet, our marchers for the day were on two wheels!
The uncertainly of weather loomed, the rain stayed north and south as the clouds parted and we stayed dry as we decided to grab the bikes for the trek from Dalton to Massillon. This day was made much more exciting by having the addition of the youngest marcher/rider, Landon Daum, the 4 year old son of Kevin Daum . He was joined by his dad and Tim Baker, all three from FirstEnergy Family Credit Union. We started off from Dalton about 11:30, planning to reach Massillon and eventually Massillon Area Credit Union by 12:30. However, little Landon had a different time schedule and he wanted to ride, walk, then run, then ride then walk again. He wanted to stop at every creek at each of the 50 bridges we crossed. We came to one bridge that was burnt down and Landon suggested we swing across on a vine. It was great having Landon and he is also one of the many success stories of Akron Children's hospital as he was rushed there one year after his birth with a serious infection that was treated with the upmost care, expertise and professionalism.
When we arrived in Massillon we were greeted on the street by a friendly face hanging out a SUV, Howard Wacker from Massillon Area Credit Union. He wanted to get a few pictures of us arriving. He gave us directions and an escort back to the credit union, where we were we enjoyed a delicious luncheon.
Every day's march is different...be creative, make it your own, and raise money for Children's Hospitals across Ohio!
